Can't clean dishes cause of missing trash can (there is one) (Patch 1.108.318) [ Edited ]

[Karmicscales]

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.318.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Dine Out, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Parenthood, Spa Day, For Rent, Get Together, Get To Work, City Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Clean dirty dishes
What happens when the bug occurs? When you click on dirty dishes to wash them the option in the pie menu is greyed out and says that there is no sink or trash can. I have both sink and trash can, as well as a dish washer. If I delete these items and replace them it works a couple of times, and then I get the same bug that says that I cannot wash the dishes without these items again. I have tried different sinks, counters, and garbage cans and nothing works. I can wash hands, get water, brush teeth, clean, upgrade, and do everything at the sink except for wash dishes. Only tried in apartments, haven't seen if it happens in residential homes yet. I've removed all mods, please stop suggesting to remove mods.
What do you expect to see? I expect for my sims to be able to clean the dishes.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Updated to the most recent patch.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem; without mods or CC; I thought the bug had been fixed? It seems not, or not for everyone. Could you communicate on the subject and confirm that we are reinvesting in it? THANKS

I also still have this bug, which is annoying when you have toddlers and dirty diapers all over the place

Make sure your indoor trash can isn't full. That seems pretty obvious, so you all probably already did it, but I thought it should get mentioned just in case someone forgot.

The bug occurs constantly, even in completely empty trash cans. I have 3 nearby; plus 2 kitchen sinks and a bathroom sink and nothing helps. It's annoying to always have to pick up and drag the plates and glasses one by one yourself. Diapers, baby bottles on the floor too even though we have a trash can next to it, it's crazy. And we would also like when the few sims who manage to empty “They pick up all the dishes at the same time. Not a plate by a plate. It's not logical, you have to review everything there.

This happens to me seemingly at random. Most commonly when lot is loaded into (directly from main menu, when switching households, when traveling from lot and coming back, when traveling and switching control to sim at home) and haven't noticed it happening while already active on lot (but could be happening). Sometimes selecting sink or garbage and doing debug option will fix, but most commonly I have to enter build mode, pick it up and place it somewhere else, and then move it back (doesn't fix if you just pick up and put right back). I have indoor trash, outdoor trash, dish washer, sinks around house, and sink in kitchen (sink set for kitchen and all other sinks for bathroom, sink set as kitchen and all other sinks unspecified, all sinks not specified, sink unspecified and all other sinks for bathroom--doesn't matter, still happens). Incredibly annoying. Dishwasher active but sims won't use it if sink and trash bug out, and then when I go into build/buy to fix the sink and trash and problem is fixed, then the sims default to dishwasher without even interacting with trash or sink. Why, if sink and trash apparently don't exist per the message on the greyed out option, wouldn't sims just use dishwasher anyway then?? Confusing. Aaaaaaaaah.
